HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language" and is the code behind each web page, the programming language with which a website is created. The html code itself is not difficult to understand and learn and anyone can easily create a website on their computer using programs such as Kompozer, a graphic and visual editor that greatly simplifies development.
Those who are preparing to create a web page, even if they use free assisted CMS with guided website creation, should know at least the basics of the HTML code for greater control.
In this article there will not be a tutorial to teach programming in html but resources that will surely be useful to all webmasters, both the most inexperienced ones, and professionals and internet graphic designers.
In fact, we are talking about Cheat Sheets or summarizing schemes, in one page, which, if printed and hung on the wall, become a precious resource to remember and keep in mind the information most often used .
So, as a reminder of mathematical formulas or medical definitions, even for programmers and web designers there are summary tables with the main codes and properties that, at times, can get away from the mind.
In this post I point out the most useful sheets for HTML, CSS and Javascript languages, which can be downloaded for free in pdf and printed, to be used as reference schemes to remember things faster .
For the HTML language there are 3 summary schemes, two very similar and alternative and one that instead contains the codes to write special characters.
1) HTML Help Sheet
2) HTML Cheat Sheet
3) Special characters in HTML.
4) The table of elements of HTML5 with all the explanations for each TAG from the W3C.
This is not a downloadable table but a web application.
For website designers who use the Dreamweaver program there is a double page table with the global summary of all the hotkeys, the keyboard combinations to call up the functions quickly and with a brief explanation of the menus.
Regarding the CSS code and the style sheets used within a web page there are the following tables:
CSS Cheat Free is a 5-page file that contains all the tags or parameters of the CSS language with all the variables they can assume.
Available for free download is also the version of CSS Cheat, more synthetic, made of only two pages, with the main parameters and their variables.
Since most people who work on websites use only a few of all possible parameters in a CSS style sheet, then it is useful to download Practical CSS Cheat Sheet with the main properties .
CSS Cheat Sheet is a page with a summary of how the CSS style sheet is used, with its main properties and their meaning.
As for Javascript and other more complex and advanced languages, there are other synthesis schemes.
jQuery Cheatsheet
JavaScript Cheat Sheet
Most common DOM properties and methods
Prototype CheatSheet
